They are a force to be behold and that scares the wits out of the NRA.
Some of you think the NRA is the only thing stopping you from banning guns. Most gun owners are not members of the NRA and when and if you ban their gun they will pay it back just like they did to Clinton in 92 by voting out democrats.


And lets get this straight, those of you eager to see these students vote hope to install democrats back in control, its not about caring about the kids.

No they don't. Not if you have heard any of them. Most of them sound like idiots. They are clueless little lemmings. They don't understand why we have the Second Amendment. They think it is for hunting.

Well, there is always that other side of the coin.

Consider: A man is getting ready to throw a Molotov cocktail into your house (or school to keep it on topic). How do you stop him?

Seems like their mostly just stating their opinions.

I think you're wrong, also think it's beyond stupid to categorize an entire age group as "clueless little lemmings"

They are protesting for change. If that means overruling your precious 2nd Amendment, then so be it.

Which means you don't know enough facts.

Abortion kills more children than are killed by guns. Are you calling for a ban on abortion?

You can't make kids be nicer to each other, but you can limit what kids have access to. We need to act on things we can actual have an effect on.
seeing as how social media and smart phones have a lot to do with allowing bullying, are you on board with restricting smartphone ownership to 18 and over?


Seeing as how street drag racing is done mostly by younger people are you on board with restricting certain cars and upping the driver license to 21 years old?


THAT would save a lot of kids lives but I bet those kids and many of you aren't on board with that.
